This exercise is provided to allow potential course delegates to choose the correct Wise Owl Microsoft training course, and may not be reproduced in whole or in part in any format without the prior written consent of Wise Owl.

Before you can do this exercise, you'll need to download and unzip
this file (if you have any problems doing this, click here for help).

You need a minimum screen resolution of about 700 pixels width to see our exercises. This is because they contain diagrams and tables which would not be viewable easily on a mobile phone or small laptop. Please use a larger tablet, notebook or desktop computer, or change your screen resolution settings.

If you haven't already done so, run the SQL script in the above folder in SQL
Server Management Studio to generate a database (not for commercial use or
copying) called MAM.

Create a new project, and for the data model import the following tables:

tblCentre

tblPos

tblRegion

tblStore

tblTown

tblTransaction

Within the transactions table, use the RELATED function to
bring in the store, centre, town and region name for each transaction, and use
this to create a pivot table with a perfect data model:

You should also create and rename two measures: one to give the count of the transaction id, the other to give the sum of the quantity.
